        Horizontal bar charts are a variation on Bar charts, which can be useful when you have larger labels, since you have
        more space available to you for them.
    </p>
    
    <p>
        The example file is <a href="../examples/hbar.html">here</a>.

        <b>myHBar.Set('name', 'value');</b>

    <h2>Methods</h2>
    
    <a name="getbar"></a>
    <b>obj.getBar()</b><br /><br />
    This method makes it easier to get hold of which bar has been clicked on, or hovered over. It returns an array of:
    <ul>
        <li>The X coordinate</li>
        <li>The Y coordinate</li>
        <li>The width of the bar</li>
        <li>The height of the bar</li>
        <li>The numerical index of the bar. This corresponds (for example) to the tooltips array, and the coordinates array</li>
    </ul>
    
    An example usage is:
    
    <pre class="code">
&lt;canvas id="cvs" width="600" height="250"&gt;[No canvas support]&lt;/canvas&gt;

&lt;script src="RGraph.common.core.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script src="RGraph.hbar.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

&lt;script&gt;
    myGraph = new RGraph.HBar('myCanvas', [1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5,6,1.9,2,2.1,2.5]);
    myGraph.Set('chart.labels', ['John', 'Barry', 'Rich', 'Craig', 'Tom', 'Frank', 'Helen', 'Joyce', 'Fred'])
    myGraph.Draw();

    RGraph.Register(myGraph);
    
    myGraph.canvas.onclick = function (e)
    {
        RGraph.Redraw();
    
        var canvas  = e.target;
        var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
        var obj     = canvas.__object__;
        <span style="color: green">var bar     = obj.getBar(e);</span>
        
        if (bar) {

            var top    = bar[0];
            var left   = bar[1];
            var width  = bar[2];
            var height = bar[3];
            var idx    = bar[4];
            
            context.beginPath();
                context.strokeStyle = 'black';
                context.fillStyle = 'rgba(255,255,255,0.5)';
                context.strokeRect(top, left, width, height);
                context.fillRect(top, left, width, height);
            context.stroke();
